Traduction de «ambient standard » (Anglais → Français) :

The 2013 Clean Air Programme for Europe, which updates the 2005 EU Thematic Strategy on Air Pollution to set new strategic policy objectives for 2020 and 2030; The new National Emission Ceilings Directive (NEC Directive), which is the main legislative implementation of the new objectives, setting caps on national pollution of the main air pollutants; The Ambient Air Quality Directives, setting local air quality limits which may not be exceeded anywhere in the EU – they were not revised in the 2013 review. Source-specific legislation designed to limit emissions from specific economic sectors, such as the Industrial Emissions Directive ( ...[+++]IED), the new Medium Combustion Plants Directive, the Euro standards for vehicles, energy efficiency standards, fuel standards for ships, etc.

As a collective, the ministers identify, through consultations, which issues are priorities for the development of standards, whether those standards will be for ambient environmental quality standards in other words, the level in the general environment or specific standards relating to products, such as additives to fuels, or whether they will be a combination of those plus some stack emissions or discharge emissions.

We would certainly advocate that standards be reviewed every five years, both emission standards and ambient air quality standards, with a view to maintaining the leading standards globally, and certainly the leading standards in North America.

I'm particularly interested in further investigating what Dr. Levy talked about that is, the issue of attaining standards, the issue of measuring our country's attainment of particular pollution standards, be they ambient air standards, water standards, or whatever.

The Commission has already mandated work on the preparation of CEN standards for the measurement of those constituents in ambient air where target values are defined (arsenic, cadmium, nickel and benzo(a)pyrene) as well as for the deposition of heavy metals with a view to their early development and adoption.

On the source protection side of our environmental federal-provincial-territorial network, there is a very strong interest in working together toward ambient standards and guidelines.
